Hi,
After class 12th, your approach should be to focus on the static areas such as history, geography, polity, environment and general Science. You need to clear your basics regarding these subjects as they form the 60-70% basis of prelims examination. The books you can initially refer are NCERTs of class 6th-10th for Science and environment, and for other mentioned subjects from class 6th-12th.
A lot will also depend on, which course you will opt for your graduation, as a lot of areas would be covered in your higher studies. Moreover, newspaper reading is a must habit which cannot be dispensed with. With new digital mediums available, i

Dear Kiran,
There is no such particular stream which is considered the most appropriate for civil service exam. As you can see in the last year results, the maximum number of candidates selected for IAS were holding professional courses but that doesn't means that you have to pursue a professional course to succeed in civil service exam. You just need to be focused and have to prepare separately for the civil service exam, no matter which stream you belong to.

There is no advantage of becoming IAS after Engineering degree in day to day activities or roles and responsibilities. Let me answer your question in a different way.
Civil Services Examination conducted by UPSC is very competitive and to get IAS cadre is extremely tough. Therefore, lot of IAS aspirants first do Engineering and then they apply for Civil Services Examination so that they have an alternative career available if they are unable to crack Civil Services Examination.

Both are different things you cannot compare with each other. It will depend on you which one you do best but my opinion is that there are no comparison for an IAS officer. It will huge success if you got.
